To achieve this objective, the researchers employed a descriptive-analytical approach to data collection and a social survey methodology using a sample of 63 amputees in Ajdabiya. The study found statistically significant differences in the psychological and social effects on amputees during the 2011 Libyan war. It also found statistically significant differences attributable to marital status and educational qualifications.
